With my current base this is not feasible as I use it as a horde base at the same time and therefore all spikes would be destroyed during horde night.
It's not that I can't fight off the screamers or the screamer hordes. My horde base works just as well for screamer hordes as it does for bloodmoon hordes. It's more that the screamers annoy me. I want to do something like work on a part of my base and I hear a screamer whining and I have to stop what I was doing.

They didn't even cost me a seconds time. Naturally keeping the spikes in repair does cost one of our group some time, not sure how much.
Well my group consists of me, myself and I.

I would be happy to pass along some screamers to your group.
The reason so few people complain is probably because most people see the screamers as XP and not a real threat.
I wouldn't be so sure that the heat from the workstations won't change in A22, though. I was wondering the other day why I hardly got any screamers with the pickaxe when I was mining iron or lead. So I had the heat displayed and it looks like if you need two hits to destroy an iron block, you just stay under the 100% heat. And the heat also seems to dissipate faster. The heat meter has also changed from A20. It seems they are working on balancing the heat in the game.
